#Getting Started

#Configure Your First Workflow

Go to the workflow plugin management page from the plugin configuration menu in the top menu bar:

The management interface lists all created workflows:

Click the "Add New" button to create a new workflow and select Collection Event:

After submitting, click the "Configure" link in the list to enter the workflow configuration interface:

Then, click the trigger card to open the trigger configuration drawer. Select a previously created collection (e.g., "Posts"), choose "After record added" for the trigger timing, and click the "Save" button to complete the trigger configuration:

Next, we can click the plus button in the flow to add a node. For example, select a calculation node to concatenate the "Title" field and the "ID" field from the trigger data:

Click the node card to open the node configuration drawer. Use the CONCATENATE function provided by Formula.js to concatenate the "Title" and "ID" fields. The two fields are inserted through the variable selector:

Then, create an update record node to save the result to the "Title" field:

Similarly, click the card to open the update record node's configuration drawer. Select the "Posts" collection, choose the data ID from the trigger for the record ID to update, select "Title" for the field to update, and choose the result from the calculation node for the value:

Finally, click the "Enable"/"Disable" switch in the upper-right toolbar to switch the workflow to the enabled state, so that the workflow can be triggered and executed.

#Triggering the Workflow

Return to the main system interface, create a post through the posts block, and fill in the post title:

After submitting and refreshing the block, you can see that the post title has been automatically updated to the format "Post Title + Post ID":

#Viewing Execution History

The workflow has just been successfully triggered and executed once. We can go back to the workflow management interface to view the corresponding execution history:

In the workflow list, you can see that this workflow has generated one execution history. Click the link in the count column to open the execution history records for the corresponding workflow:

Click the "View" link to enter the details page for that execution, where you can see the execution status and result data for each node:

The context data of the trigger and the result data of the node execution can be viewed by clicking the status button in the upper right corner of the corresponding card. For example, let's view the result data of the calculation node:

You can see that the result data of the calculation node contains the calculated title, which is the data used by the subsequent update record node.

#Summary

Through the steps above, we have completed the configuration and triggering of a simple workflow and have been introduced to the following basic concepts:

• Workflow: Used to define the basic information of a flow, including name, trigger type, and enabled status. You can configure any number of nodes within it. It is the entity that carries the flow.
• Trigger: Each workflow contains one trigger, which can be configured with specific conditions for the workflow to be triggered. It is the entry point of the flow.
• Node: A node is an instruction unit within a workflow that performs a specific action. Multiple nodes in a workflow form a complete execution flow through upstream and downstream relationships.
• Execution: An execution is the specific execution object after a workflow is triggered, also known as an execution record or execution history. It contains information such as the execution status and trigger context data. There are also corresponding execution results for each node, which include the node's execution status and result data information.
